Well, it is cloudy here today but this past weekend we had beautiful weather!
Lovely weekend spent with the the family.
Saturday we headed to the Home and Garden Show... I must admit I was a bit disappointed. It seemed that unless you were in the market for a new bathroom, done by the "Bath Fitters type" of people, needed new gutters or a new deck, the show wasn't much of a show for you!
However we did run into DiVine, The living Gardenivine. I wasn't sure what to think but evidently it was suppose to be a show "highlight".
See her face in this one... kind of creepy!
Moving on... as I awoke at the wonderful hour of 3:00 this morning I decided and to be a bit productive by doing the dishes, washing some clothes, and what else can you do at that hour besides whip up some homemade gornola!
Honey Almond Gronola
3 cups of this:
1/2 cup this
1/4 cup this
1/2 cup this
1/4 cup this (melted)
1 tsp this
Plus 2 tbsp warm water.
Mix oatmeal, almonds and coconut together in a bowl and set aside.
Melt the cocount oil and then add the honey, vianialla and water. Mix together and pour mixture over the dry mixture coating it well. Transfer to a greased baking sheet and pop in over for 10 to 15 mintues at 325. Stirring every 5 minutes.
It will look a bit like this
Super yummy to eat alone or mixed in with some yogurt.
It makes 10 servings and from what I can tell a serving is about 1/2 a cup. With some help from MyFoodDiary.com with the recipe builder it is around 268 calories a serving. Seems a bit high but you would only probably eat it in 1/2 serving size... 1/4 cup making it just around 134 calories. Either way, better eating exactly what you know than a list of ingredients you have never even heard of.
Got this recipe from Mallory, my bootcamp instructor! Next time you are at the store and are about to buy your gonoala take a look at those ingredients... might make you think again!
Happy Monday!
